About this Cook
I am elderly (when I went to school there was no history class.) I love gardening --- am a Master Gardener I love cooking --- am the furthest thing from a Master Cook. I live for fishing and football. I thought about listing myself as an expert just for laughs. I'm glad I didn't. There are so many of those on this site I feel rather special, being in the minority.
My favorite things to cook
Tex/Mex, Asian or Southern. Couldn't eat any of these more than six times a day, seven days a week.
My cooking triumphs
Sometimes I actually cook well enough that The Boss (read "Wife") doesn't send out for pizza.
My cooking tragedies
Cannot cook a good meatloaf. Have wasted several herds of cattle trying.

Hasenpfeffer (Rabbit Stew)
Before I cooked this recipe I read the reviews. It had 22 reviews, all were 5 stars. Now it has 23. I made it exactly according to the recipe with the exception that after browning the rabbit and cooking the shallots and garlic I put it all in a slow cooker for 5 hrs on low. It was delicious and fall off the bone tender. If I had only one chance to impress someone with my cooking, I'd cook this and not worry about it. And I agree totally with AndiSue, the gravy is out of this world. So, take a bow CHERYLG, you're getting a standing ovation here.

Scrambled Eggs Done Right
I urge people to please try the recipe as written the first time. But I am elderly (when I went to school, there was no history class) and I must restrict my cholesterol intake so I only eat egg substitute. It's close but it's not eggs. So I tried this (I know mayo is made w/egg yolks... but 1 teaspoonful?) It really helped. If you use egg substitute for scrambled I urge you to try this. Adds a new, and better, dimension. And, had this not worked out, I would not have rated it because it is not the original recipe. Many thanks WHATS HIS FACE.

BBQ Country Style Ribs
I have used this method for years. For those of you who may worry about reviews saying the ribs are too dry or too tough, Watashi's review (23 Feb 2007) is a must read. (Pg 5 in reviews at present.) And I agree w/Watashi, use any marinade/ basting sauce you like. Don't limit this wonderful method to BBQ.
